“While girls average a healthy five hours a week on video games, boys average 13. The problem? The brain chemistry of video games stimulates feel-good dopamine that builds motivation to win in a fantasy while starving the parts of the brain focused on real-world motivation.”

American author, educator, and activist

Warren Thomas Farrell is an American author, educator, and activist known for writing about gender, especially men’s issues. He was active in the second wave feminist movement in the late 1960s and 1970s, and later became a prominent critic of feminism. His work spans the changing debate over sex roles in modern America. Farrell served on the board of the National Organization for Women in New York City and wrote The Liberated Man in 1974, a book that examined how traditional gender roles restricted both men and women. He earned his doctorate in political science in 1974. His role-reversal workshops in the 1970s and early 1980s brought him wider public attention, and his later writing focused more explicitly on the disadvantages and challenges faced by men.
